  1. FY2020 Army Nurse Corps

    Spring624 replied to ReconMedic's topic in Government, Military

  3. Army Nurse

    Spring624 replied to kingjames06's topic in Government, Military

    To be honest I don’t know. I’d recommend finding a good AMEDD recruiter & asking them or someone who has actually tried this. Where are you out of? If it’s OK or Texas I have a couple I...

  6. Army FY 2019

    Spring624 replied to msnapper's topic in Government, Military

    I never received a template from my recruiter; all he told me was for it to be no longer than a page. I based my statement off of the Army’s values & how I exhibit them or have experienced them...

  8. Downsizing Military Medicine

    Spring624 replied to PMHNP Man's topic in Government, Military

  9. Reserve Bonus

    Spring624 replied to OUxPhys's topic in Government, Military

    I guess I had thought that during BA we would be training or working on skills that may need to be utilized if/when deployed. I understand that this was the last commanders view as well but with a new...

  11. Reserve Bonus

    Spring624 replied to OUxPhys's topic in Government, Military

    To be honest it’s different than I expected. Not bad just different. You will get out of it what you put in. You have to be a go getter or you’ll miss the opportunities. (You have to look for...

  14. Army Nurse Corp Reserves advice/input on experience 2016

    Spring624 replied to RayRN87's topic in Government, Military

    If you don't mind me asking what kind of problems are you having getting a spot for DCC? Once my unit turned in my application I was able to get a spot reserved, but there are only 3 reserve options...

    Spring624 replied to kristinalynn97's topic in Government, Military
